A couple of years ago, I heard that Amazon had developed capability, with algorithms and such like, to detect a large percentage of phony reviews. I haven't heard any more about that since then. I wonder if Amazon isn't quietly using it now, trying to avoid tipping off the bad guys so they will continue to do the things that they've been doing, which things allow Amazon to do the filtering.
